Technology is advancing in all areas and the cycling world is no different. Bicycles have already changed significantly throughout history, but this time we got a special device that does not need a chain to drive the bicycle.
CeramicSpeed Driven the bike is currently still a prototype and needs to be driven special frame. The revolutionary drive system plans to put new standards efficiency in the cycling world by removing the drive chain and sprockets. Instead of them, we will drive the wheel through a type drive shafts.
Innovative driving system chainless was developed by CeramicSpeed and the University of Colorado Engineering Department. A bike equipped with this system should have less air resistance, less weight and take up less space on the road. The system itself deserves what it is 49 % less friction. It is necessary for the latter 21 bearings, which perform the main work in the drive. The bearings transmit the torque via the drive shaft to the rear gear s 13 gears, and since there is extremely little friction, it is also correspondingly small loss energy. The Driven wheel may indeed work strangely, but its system is extremely innovative, and what can happen that the chain will also be forever goodbye from the cycling world.
